A speak truth in 60% cases and B in 80% cases. In what percent of case...
P(A) = 3/5 and P(B) = 4/5. Now they are contradicting means one is telling truth and other telling the lie.
So, Probability = (3/5)*(1/5) + (2/5)*(4/5)

A speak truth in 60% cases and B in 80% cases. In what percent of case...
To find the percentage of cases in which A and B contradict each other, we need to consider the cases where A speaks the truth and B lies, and the cases where A lies and B speaks the truth.
Let's assume we have 100 cases to analyze.
A speaks the truth in 60% of the cases, which means A lies in the remaining 40% of the cases.
Similarly, B speaks the truth in 80% of the cases, which means B lies in the remaining 20% of the cases.
Now let's calculate the cases where A speaks the truth and B lies:
A speaks the truth in 60% of the cases, and B lies in 20% of the cases. Therefore, the percentage of cases where A speaks the truth and B lies is 60% * 20% = 12%.
Next, let's calculate the cases where A lies and B speaks the truth:
A lies in 40% of the cases, and B speaks the truth in 80% of the cases. Therefore, the percentage of cases where A lies and B speaks the truth is 40% * 80% = 32%.
To find the total percentage of cases where A and B contradict each other, we add the two percentages calculated above:
12% + 32% = 44%.
Therefore, in 44% of the cases, A and B are likely to contradict each other while narrating the same incident.
However, none of the given options match the calculated result. So, the correct answer is None of these.
